Chapter 139 Returning to Their Previous Shared Home
After hanging up the phone, Gavyn’s emotions were still very unstable, and the anxiety and doubts in his heart had not been alleviated. He desperately needed something to soothe him.
He put his phone back in his pocket, decisively stood up, grabbed his car keys, and headed out the door.
The moment the secretary pushed the door open, they found themselves face to face.
The man’s handsome face was cold and stern, startling the secretary, who dared not look directly into his eyes and lowered her head. “Mr. Delacruz, the progress report for last quarter’s projects you requested has been submitted by the marketing department.”
The secretary carefully handed over the documents.
She was prepared to be scolded, but Gavyn didn’t even glance at her. He simply said, “Put it on the table, we’ll talk tomorrow.”
After finishing speaking, they walked away without even looking back.
The secretary and the employees exchanged glances with each other.
Gavyn was a well-known workaholic. No matter how urgent a matter was, he would always prioritize his work. This was the reason why, at such a young age, he had earned the admiration and respect of everyone in the company.
For the first time, like today, I was completely out of it throughout the day, and I left work early even before it was time to clock out.
The junior employee accidentally bumped into the secretary’s hand and whispered, “What is Mr. Delacruz up to?”
The secretary looked bewildered, “I have no idea!”
No one could have imagined that Gavyn, leaving behind a company full of employees and tasks, was not going out for work or to discuss urgent business matters.
He hurriedly drove, eager to return to that once familiar mansion.
That building, the mansion where he and Aylin live.
On the road, Gavyn pushed the car to its maximum speed, not knowing why he was being so impulsive.
But he really couldn’t wait any longer.
The car phone rang several times, but the man seemed not to notice.
No matter if it was work-related or calls from relatives and friends, Gavyn simply didn’t want to answer any of them..
Now, the only image in his mind was that of Aylin.
He couldn’t wait and couldn’t help but want to know everything about her!
Those unanswered questions seemed to wrap around the man’s heart like sulfuric acid, corroding, seeping, and burning, making it difficult for him to sit still.
Of course, Gavyn had no idea that the persistent phone call, which rang over a dozen times before hanging up, was from Laila.
